How to replace Workplace?

Meta is shutting down its enterprise communication platform, Workplace, by the end of the year. Launched in 2016, Workplace served over 7 million paid users, providing businesses with a familiar interface for team collaboration.

What happened?

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has announced the closure of Workplace, its enterprise communications platform. Despite initially aiming to compete in the business communication and productivity space, Meta has decided to shut down Workplace, marking the end of a ten-year journey for the product. 

The decision comes as Meta shifts its focus towards AI and metaverse technologies. Workplace users will be able to continue using the platform until August 31, 2025, after which it will become read-only until May 31, 2026, when access will be terminated.

What companies using Workplace should do next

For organizations currently using Workplace, here are the steps to ensure a smooth transition:

  1. Communicate internally: Inform your team about the upcoming changes. Reassure them that Workplace will remain operational until the shutdown and that you're evaluating alternatives that promise even more benefits.

  2. Data management: Take advantage of Workplace’s data download feature. This will be essential for migrating to a new platform without losing valuable information.

  3. Explore alternatives: Evaluate the core functionalities you relied on in Workplace and identify additional requirements. While Meta has recommended Workvivo from Zoom, it's a great opportunity to explore other options that might better suit your needs, such as Oneteam.
